it will either be nuremburg gp pr hockenhiem gp......is there really any point running this if theres only 3 of us?   the fields of late in alot of series have been  getting thinner and thinner,  not gonna lie i just cant get into rf1 ive tried numerous times to no evail and when i see that stick figure alien waving me out of the pits  i wanna smash my head through the screen lol    Reason why i mentioned something in rf2... of late it seems ive just been searching for a mod or game to entertain me but nothing is really calming that itch, and as much as i love wtcc/btcc i dont want to over due it or waste my time if only 2 or 3 regulars show up....... we can always  get an online poker room going and get shit faced lol

Right, I don't have either of these tracks. I could get them from rfactorcentral but I might get the wrong version.

As knight said, we need Links

I swear we need to give out cellphone numbers so we can text each other. Not sure if you guys across the pond can text us in the states/canada but this is what I think needs to happen sometimes.  devil

Not really caring for the dtm rfactor version, sounds like an f1 car and has little to no feel other than road bumps and i cant be bothered to find links for the rl tracks, so if the 3 of us are going to chase each other around will just use seabring national by vlm iam sure we all have that track

Of course the R07 version is bugged...forgot that...Look no point in running something you don't like Just pick something you do. Jaysus there must be something, Vintage, SSR, anything.

Yeah I get that you were maybe hoping more GBR folk may have bit, thing is most of  'em are on the ragged edge of race time already. We just gotta be patiant man, GBR started with a tiny core crew too, and we are the same. We are also in that no-mans land of last gen and next gen sims. I have some ideas but it needs a little time.

Welcome to the wonderfull world of 2old2race!  My guess is it will be race 07, but who knows. Kurupt has the server so up to him.  But please tell your friends so we can get nice size grid for future races.

That ssr s2000 mod really feels great. Kurupt and I put in some laps at brands hatch against the AI and kurupt and I were 1 and 2, but I am not going to say what are times were. 115 It is up to you guys to get in there and see if you can figure out if you are faster than us.  136

I'm lucky if I can finish a lap lol so I don't think I'll be battleing for the best time just yet :)  where do I find the server information (is it a dedicated / always up server?).  I have the TeamSpeak info now just want to check the server out.

 

Thanks :)

PM sent.

Don't worry mate like I sad in the PM I am having problems adjusting to the new CSP's so not going to be much competition from me for a while either.

The pedals are amazing, a work of art, the big thing I have noticed off the bat is the increased resolution of the throttle, loving the subtle control that gives, Still tinkering with the load cell brake, that is harder than I expected to get to grips with.

ok TS worked - The server ran great for me (I didn't run great - but the server did :)  and I think I have all the mods and tracks.  Hopefully I can make it out today (I do have a couple of things on the go - but I'm going to try and be there).  Thanks a lot for all your help guys!

np knight its all in the server and shouldnt boot u for not having a mod......u should have that old btcc mod unless u deleted it.

as for your pedals try setting the brake knob to 5 or 6 seems to be the happy medium.......the issue i had was i noticed it didnt quite work like a real brake and i found i had to push harder than the old pedals to create break lock which was kinda of amind fuck lol

When i first got them i expected them to work like rl where when u tapped them it would apply a bit of pressure and the harder more pressure....nope i would tap them expecting to slow and nothing them i would hammer them but it would be too late and i would be in the wall lol......from what i got from them was 10 was stiff...less travel 1 was soft full travel or vice versa lol start with a stiffer

Was the pm for blow monkey about the server?

Hey blowmonkey, I was in the same boat a few months ago. I felt very intimidated racing in a league and I was struggling with my times, but after a few races with these guys I was holding my own, and you will be too. We are all here to help and make each other better drivers. Just have fun and don't be too concerned with trying to win, getting points in each race is just as important.

Yup Kurupt your right I did get that BTCC mod before, and found it in my on the shelf, to be looked at later folder so all good there.

My brake does respond to the lightest touch mate, and I have it set to 7 so I don't hammer the load cell, it's reeducating the right foot that is taking a little longer, but I'll get there smiley

Yup PM about server.
